At 2.30pm Southbank Centre and The Egg present The Queen’s Knickers a classic comedy for wise children.What would you does if you lost the Queen’s pants?
Dilys, the Queen’s maid, is the royal custodian of her Majesty’s ‘intimate apparel’, otherwise known as the Queen’s knickers. She guards HRH’s smalls as if they were the crown jewels. She would be mortified if anyone got a glimpse of them.
But one day the knickers go missing, causing a national state of emergency and a diplomatic incident of catastrophic proportions.
A celebration of the garments we all wear but never show! Tickets are £8, £6 Children (£24 family)
If you are coming to the show – come along to the FREE Design Your Own Queen’s Knickers craft activity beforehand (12pm-2pm) in the Children’s Library. Here you will create funny Queen’s Knickers bags to take home!
The Bakery will be serving pastries, cakes and Christmas treats throughout the day as we launch our Christmas programme of events with a fantastic day for all the family!
